Re: Warrington
Hopefully Asanti is fit enough to give us something up front tonight, as I'm not quite sure what we'll do otherwise. We've struggled to score goals even with strikers playing And with Lawlor out I'm worried (even more than usual...) about our ability to keep a clean sheet too So, to sum up, I'm not...

Re: Simms
It was an odd move which predictably did not work Don't k ow how you can say PREDICTABLY did not work. I can't find anyone on any thread predicting it would not work, indeed someone actually said he was around the first team at Hull. That to me suggests he would have improved us. I think you are us...

Re: Kieran Burton
Bugger! with Lawlor having a shoulder injury time for Sukar to step in slongside Lees perhap Sukar whos been sacked off is now needed you mean! Could he be blamed if he didn't really give a toss and just went through the motions for a man who obviously doesn't want him around the club? By all accou...

Re: Forum
I just don't think it was a hugely sinister lie, in fact I didn't think it was much more than a throwaway comment. More concerned with the next 10 games tbh. They are make or break for our season. I do suspect the board are thinking that a more 'obvious' appointment might have avoided some of this....

Re: Forum
There is contextualising how you feel, and then there is making a clear statement that is very blatantly untrue to make you sound a bit better than you actually are. Making yourself sound better than you are? I guess I am not convinced any right minded individual would see the aftermath of an 8-0 d...

Re: Forum
However the Chair of the DFCSG made excuses, that we are part-time, that we played at the weekend, that our players have days-jobs - ALL challenges that Chorley faced before the fixture. That's what I'm not happy with. That is the chair of the majority shareholder. Who gave their perspective on thi...

Re: ASANTE SIGNS!!!
We need a result on Saturday? Really? I think we need to get results against Warrington and Rushall. I honestly do not think it matters if we win, lose or go to pens on Saturday. I think we need some kind of performance, whether that results in a win or not is probably less important, but we need t...

Re: Gowling MUST go!
Depends what value he placed on keeping the score respectable - as I say he may have learned more about the players at his disposal from what happened than just putting everyone behind the ball under siege for 75 minutes. No manager would ever consciously think, “I could keep this respectable but I...

Re: Gowling MUST go!
Telling people off. Sorry I know what I'd do at work if someone 'told me off'. "Bye" Great way to prove my point. We want players with grit and fight, not ones who run away / hide when criticised or disciplined. Nonsense. People perform when they have clarity, capability and motivation to do so. If...

Re: Chorley
I've been looking at these goals again on the highlights and something caught my eye. In goals 5 and 6 T.T. just seems to idly swing a defeated leg out, why doesn't he at least attempt to get down on the ball? To me it's not a good look :( For years (but not lately) I’ve seen goalie warm ups where ...

Re: Chorley
Based on how the first 5 minutes played out, I’m very confident that Chorley would’ve won this game easily 11 v 11. JG points out that the players looked tired after Saturday and he’s definitely right but why is that the case? Chorley are part time, they played Saturday, what’s the difference? I ju...

Re: Gowling MUST go!
I don't think Jonno and Morley would have accepted our recent performances. And do what, exactly, to reject it. Be shouty at grown adults? I was speaking to someone at Bolton the other day. He was recounting how Sam Allardyce when he was there would never shout at players. He would always talk to t...

Re: Gowling MUST go!
It's becoming clear that we've made a huge mistake with this appointment. There are alarming signs that there are major problems behind the scenes with organisation, spirit and leadership and that has been clear in most of the games, not just in last night's disastrous performance. It is going to t...

Re: Chorley
Every schoolboy error was there, from senseless dangerous challenges, woeful marking & no system plus some cracking goals from Chorley & Moke. The Fans Forum needs to be postponed while this debarcle sinks in & people calm down. No it does not. The club need to hear what the owners think. You can’t...

Re: Chorley
I think that is possibly the biggest defeat in my time of watching Darlington going back to the 1960s. Everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong tonight. All I would say is, let’s try to refrain from knee jerk reactions, and everyone needs to keep calm. I agree. I think chopping the manag...

Re: Chorley
No dressing up an awful result, hopefully a freak occurrence driven in part by the sending off but you have to question the players desire/professionalism to concede 8! All they can do is put it right and perform with some pride v Scunthorpe and more importantly in the league. Will sort out players...

Re: Chorley
For me Nelson should be the next out the door, he's never shown any kind of form with us since he has been back. I know its harsh, but we have got to think of the club and survival. Perhaps Alun and Danny were so invested in his rehabilitation that they couldn’t see the wood for the trees. Fact is ...

Superb result. Even though we conceded two, we didn’t collapse so encouragement can be taken from this resilience. Glad the 5 at the back seems to be gone.
